A major power breakdown took place on Thursday — amounting to 8,000 megawatts, according to the energy minister — depriving large swathes of southern Pakistan, including financial capital Karachi, of electricity. The Ministry of Energy attributed the breakdown to an“accidental fault“ in the transmission system. “Several power plants in the south are tripping in phases due to an accidental fault in the country’s southern transmission system. As a result, there have been disruptions in the supply of electricity to the country’s south,” the ministry said in a tweet following reports of power outages. Later, Energy Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan, in a press conference was hopeful that electricity would be fully restored “to normalcy” by tonight, and announced that power had begun returning to parts of southern Punjab. He shared the preliminary findings of the circumstances that led to the breakdown. “This morning at 9:16am, our two 500kv lines in the south — Karachi — there was a fault in both of them. I am not calling it an accident yet, because an inquiry has yet to be conducted. […] there was a fault in them and they fell, as a result the country’s southern region saw an electricity blackout. “Our first priority was to isolate Karachi from it, and we were successful in doing so and we isolated Karachi from it by 9:45. By isolate, I mean that the 1,000MW that we provide to Karachi daily, was cut. But KE’s system is independently operational and is supplying electricity to [parts of] the city.” He said as a result of the two power lines in which the fault developed, parts of Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and Quetta, and partially in Multan and Faisalabad experienced power breakdowns. Dastgir added that he was personally monitoring the progress of the restoration. “As a result of this breakdown, a large part of our power plants are out of our system, around 8,000MW, of which we have restored 4,700MW,” he said. “Electricity has been completely restored in Multan and Faisalabad. There is an issue in Hyderabad, but we have restored Sepco partially till Dadu. There is also [power] connectivity in Shikarpur, and because of partial connections in Sukkur. Qesco has been restored till Sibi.” The minister said three teams were in the field: one was the reconnection team dealing with the cut-off conductors, the second team was for repairs, wherever needed, and the third team, was the inquiry team, which would submit a report to the ministry of energy in four days identifying the cause of the incident. “Our biggest success is that we prevented a breakdown in the north. We limited the shutdown to the south through timely reconnection … the north was completely saved from the shutdown. “We are trying to completely restore the system between maghrib and isha,” he said. “It is taking time. The power plants that were shut down will take hours to restart. These include coal plants, Thar coal plants and nuclear plants in Karachi, wherever there has been tripping, plants are being restarted according to their technical specifications. “We expect that those plants will start production in the next few hours, and as I said, we will completely restore the system between 7-8pm. Our priorities at present are [the restoration of power in] Karachi and Quetta and then Hyderabad too.” He said the tripping developed near Karachi and moved northward. “There are two lines in Karachi’s south — NK1 and Jamshoro — there was a fault in them simultaneously. He, however, insisted that there was no fault in the system in Karachi, only the transmission of 1,000MW from the national grid had been cut off. “When the plants will be restarted, 1,000MW supply will be restored [to the city].” The minister hinted that human error could be responsible for the fault, though he wouldn’t confirm it until the inquiry team’s report arrives. “When the inquiry team’s report is received, if we have to take disciplinary action in its light, we will,” he added. “We have to find the actual cause, whether it was an accident or there was another reason.” High-level committee formed to probe outage Later in the day, the Ministry for Power constituted a high-level inquiry committee to ascertain facts pertaining to the partial breakdown. According to an order issued by the National Transmission and Despatch Company Limited (NTDC), the committee will be headed by Muhammad Mustafa — Lahore general manager (technical) — and comprise Anwar Ahmed Khan, Muhammad Ijaz Khan, and Muhammad Zakaria. It stated that the committee will be required to determine the root cause of the default, ascertain if the faults leading to the blackout could have been prevented, and verify if measures taken by concerned departments were adequate. The committee will be required to submit a report within four days, the order added. Senate panel issues summons for KE CEO Separately, Senate’s Standing Committee on Power issued a summon for K-Electric chief executive officer Moonis Alvi and instructed the police to arrest him and present him at the next meeting of the panel. “Who is he? A gangster? What is this behavior,” Senator Saifullah Abro, the committee’s chairman, said in a meeting on Thursday. He said that time had passed but KE had still not managed to prepare an agreement for the purchase and sale of electricity. The committee also expressed anger over Dastagir’s absence from the meeting and took notice of the electricity breakdown across the country. He observed that the NTDC had failed to provide adequate reasons for the power lapse. To this, officials of the power ministry said: “The southern parts of the country have been plunged into darkness. “But sharing details [of the outage] will spread more panic,” they added. KE says electricity in Karachi to be restored within few hours Earlier in the day, K-Electric spokesperson Imran Rana confirmed that the utility had received reports of “multiple outages” from different parts of Karachi. “We are investigating the issue and will keep this space posted,” he said. In an update posted around 11:45am, he confirmed that the suspension in electricity supply was due to a fault in the southern transmission system, as explained by the Ministry of Energy. He added that work had been started to restore the supply and the complete restoration would take around five hours. In Karachi, reports of power outages were received from localities near Rashid Minhas Road, Gulistan-i-Jauhar, Liaquatbad C-1 Area, Federal B Area’s block 11, 12 and 13, Nazimabad’s block 3 and 4, Kharadar, Lyari, Old City Area, Malir Halt, Rafah-i-Aam Society, Millenium Mall, areas near Dalmia Road, Gulshan-i-Iqbal Defence Housing Authority and PECHS. There were also reports of the suspension of electricity supply to City Courts and accountability courts in the metropolis link:https://www.dawn.com/news/1714824

New Delhi: The government has denied "political clearance" to RJD MP Manoj Jha's proposed visit to Pakistan to address an event, which is being held in memory of that country's noted human rights activist Asma Jahangir, he said on Monday. Mr Jha termed the rejection of his application "unfortunate" and said the visit would have given him a chance to highlight the great tradition of Indian political parties in fighting for people's democratic rights. He noted that Asma Jahangir, who died in 2018, was known for fighting for the rights of minorities in Pakistan and was a face of South Asia which stood for human rights. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader said while he received the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs, he was denied political clearance by the Ministry of External Affairs. The Rajya Sabha member was scheduled to speak on the "role of political parties in protecting democratic rights" in Lahore on October 23. "This could have given me an opportunity on the behalf of the Indian Parliament to showcase how we fight for people's democratic rights on the streets and in Parliament. This could have added value and enhanced our stature," he said. Mr Jha said he had planned to enter Pakistan through the Wagah border on October 20 and return on October 24. 2 Comments (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.) link:https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/denied-political-clearance-by-centre-to-visit-pak-says-rajya-sabha-mp-manoj-jha-3400422

Calvin Bautista, 36, is accused of bringing the hidden snakes on a bus that crossed into northern New York on July 15, 2018. Importation of Burmese pythons is regulated by an international treaty and by federal regulations listing them as “injurious to human beings.” Bautista, of Queens, was arraigned Tuesday in Albany on the federal smuggling charge and released pending trial, according to a news release from the office of U.S. Attorney Carla B. Freedman. An email seeking comment was sent to Bautista’s lawyer.

Honda made some pretty dramatic changes to their line up in 2021, one of which included dropping the user-friendly, utilitarian Fit model. With their newer HR-V and Civic quasi-hatchback aptly filling the small four-door segment, they didn't see a need for the gas-miserly people mover. In Japan, however, the Fit continues and Mugen (M-TEC Co., Ltd.) recently announced a series of new parts for the handsome hatch. mugen fit front quarter filterSEE ALL 11 PHOTOS Something For Everyone To suit the standard and sportier RS models, there are new aero enhancements for both. The sportier RS is already fitted with a slightly different bumper to separate it from the Basic, Home, and Luxe trim levels, but Mugen has taken it a step further with a three-piece front under-spoiler that adds a pair of bumper end caps which wrap around the lower, outer portion of the bumper cover and are bridged by a horizontal link. That piece is available in premium Crystal Red Metallic for all Fits except those that are painted in that same hue. For those models, the center section remains matte black to maintain some contrast. The same red or black option is made available for a small strip that attaches to the top of the Fit's upper grill and completes the facelift. The lower front bumper treatment is matched by rather bulky sideskirts that bring the flanks closer to the pavement and feature a very slight inset groove toward the rear wheels. The constantly changing Mugen emblem this time around is rectangular with the brand's white, red, and gold signature colors just above their classic font. It's a nice look and you'll find it used on their new Fit floormats and rear cargo carpet in black, black with red trim, and bright red. SPONSORED CONTENT BRABUS releases a 700HP G-Class Widebody! By Brabus Step around to the rear and a more aggressive diffuser is in place, again with the red accented touch, while higher up, a taste of dry carbon is added to the area between the taillights, an indention included for a large Mugen emblem. mugen fit hatch spoiler filterSEE ALL 11 PHOTOS For those not opting for the RS, the entry level models also have a front lip available, this option being of one-piece construction. Adding both a lower front fascia and wider ends to the front bumper, it leads into the same sideskirts that the RS gets. Though not as complex, a rear diffuser was also created and Mugen's upper tailgate garnish is made of ABS in this instance, rather than dry carbon, though they appear to be interchangeable. Surprisingly, the RS doesn't get a hatch wing option, but the lower trim does. Extending the roofline, the blow-molded ABS spoiler adds a more distinguished look to the Fit from just about every angle. While the wing won't transform the Fit into a track demon, it does offer some additional downforce. If performance is what you're after, Mugen developed one solitary performance item. Their high-performance air filter, which interestingly combines an open weave cloth style filter on one side and a foam element on the other, is a drop-in option. mugen fit vent decal filterSEE ALL 11 PHOTOS Universal items that will work on any Fit chassis include their ventilated window visors (which will no doubt be knocked-off within weeks of release), and you're probably wondering about those peculiar vents just in front of the A-pillars. Rather than a high-pressure relief or cooling conduit, it's actually a decal. The shaded slats are fairly deceptive, and the stickers include the Mugen logo as well. You can pull an additional sneaky move with more faux vent decals on the door and rear tailgate, if that's your thing. mugen fit rear diffuser filterSEE ALL 11 PHOTOS Mugen wheels of yesteryear are celebrated among enthusiasts and fetch a pretty penny on the second-hand market. In recent years, their larger, very mild offset wheels have drawn criticism and their newest MDE wheel will likely be no different. The machined finish uses a flat surface with no signs of an outer wheel lip or concavity. Measuring in at 17 x 7 with an incredibly high +60 offset, the assumption is that Mugen wanted something dealer-friendly. We don't expect Honda fanatics to rush to order the MDE for their older project cars. Expect these parts to roll out by December in Japan, and select U.S. importers should have access to them shortly after. link:https://www.motortrend.com/news/mugen-honda-fit-japan-aftermarket-styling-parts/

Christopher Henry Gayle, OD (born 21 September 1979) is a Jamaican cricketer who is playing international cricket for the West Indies from 1999.[5] A destructive batter, Gayle is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen to have played Twenty20 cricket, and by some as the best ever.[6][7] He played a crucial role in the West Indies teams that won 2004 ICC Champions Trophy, 2012 ICC World Twenty20 and 2016 ICC World Twenty20. He has set numerous records across all three formats of the game. He is the most capped player for the West Indies in international cricket and is the only player to score a triplet of centuries – a triple hundred in Tests, double hundred in ODIs and a hundred in T20Is. Gayle is the only player to score more than 14000 runs and hit more than 1000 sixes in T20 cricket[8][9] He is also the leading run scorer for West Indies in both ODI's and T20I's and along with Brian Lara the only player to score more than 10,000 runs for West Indies in ODI Cricket. In addition to his batting, He has picked up over 200 International Wickets with his Right-arm offbreak spin bowling. He was awarded the Most Valuable Player in the 2011 Indian Premier League and held the Orange Cap in 2012. On 23 April 2013, He broke the record for the fastest ever T20 hundred in his landmark knock of 175 runs from 66 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors India in the IPL, which is also the highest score ever by a batsman in T20 history. He also equaled the record for the fastest 50 in T20 cricket while playing for Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League.[10] Playing Tests, He has scored over 7000 runs at an average of over 42 and captained the West Indian Test side from 2007 to 2010. He last played in a Test match in September 2014, against Bangladesh. After initially expressing his desire to retire from ODI's after the 2019 Cricket World Cup He nonetheless played in the ODI series against India after the World Cup playing his final and 301st ODI match wearing the special jersey number 301 in August 2019, against India. In December 2020, Gayle was included in the ICC T20I Team of the Decade.[11] In September 2021, He was included in the West Indies squad for 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[12] Contents 1 Early career 2 International career 2.1 Debut years 2.2 Rise in ranks 2.3 Late career 2.4 Retirement 3 Twenty20 cricket 3.1 Twenty20 centuries 4 Technique and attitude 5 Music 6 Personal life 7 Controversies 8 The Chris Gayle Academy 9 International centuries 10 Records 10.1 International 10.2 Domestic T20 10.3 T10 11 Honours 12 Notes 13 References 14 Further reading 15 External links Early career Gayle started his cricket career with Lucas Cricket Club in Kingston, Jamaica.[13] Gayle claimed: "If it was not for Lucas, I don't know where I would be today. Maybe on the streets"[13] Lucas Cricket Club's nursery has been named in honour of Gayle.[13] He was made captain of the West Indies side in the ICC T20 World Cup 2009 after getting criticized for playing in the IPL 2008 and missing an international series a few months before. Gayle scored a quickfire 88 in the opening game of the tournament and helped the Windies beat the mighty Australians. They lost in the semi-final to Sri Lanka. International career Debut years Gayle first played at the international level as a youth where he topscored for the Windies at the 1998 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[14] He eventually made his first-class debut in 1998, at age 19 for Jamaica. He played his first One Day International eleven months later in 1999, and his first Test match six months after that. Gayle went on to establish himself as a destructive batsman who's most effective whilst playing square of the wicket. In July 2001, Gayle (175), together with Daren Ganga (89) established the record for opening partnerships at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo when they put on 214 together against Zimbabwe.[citation needed] He did coaching for PAF KIET University.[citation needed] Rise in ranks See also: List of centuries in Twenty20 International cricket An innings-by-innings breakdown of Gayle's Test match batting career up until 2008, showing runs scored (red bars) and the average of the last ten innings (blue line). Gayle had a slow start to his international career, but invigorated it in 2002, ending the year with three centuries against India in November and becoming the third West Indian to score over 1,000 runs in a calendar year, along with Vivian Richards and Brian Lara.[15] He is one of only six players in One Day International history to have three or more scores of 150. In 2005, Gayle was dropped for the first Test against South Africa along with six other players following a dispute over sponsorship issues (see below). He returned for the second Test but had a poor series until the fourth Test, where he made a match-saving 317. It was the first-ever triple century against South Africa and up until Mahela Jayawardene made 374, it was the highest individual Test score against them. In another match of the series, Gayle had to leave the field after complaining of dizziness. During a subsequent series against Australia, Gayle again complained of dizziness and shortness of breath during his innings. He left the field for a time, and was after the match sent to hospital where he was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect causing a cardiac dysrhythmia. He underwent heart surgery following the series to correct the defect.[16][17] Gayle was only the fourth West Indian to carry his bat in a Test innings.[18] Gayle at the Prime Ministers XI cricket match in Canberra in 2010 In August 2005, Gayle joined Worcestershire for the rest of the English season, playing eight matches. He made two half-centuries in three first-class matches and two half-centuries in five one-day matches, and won one Man of the Match award in the one-day National League. However, Worcestershire were relegated after Gayle made 1 in the final match against Lancashire. Gayle was named Player of the 2006 Champions Trophy, where the West Indies nearly defended the title they won in 2004, being defeated in the final by Australia. Gayle scored three centuries and totalled 474 runs, 150 more than any other batsman, and also took eight wickets in as many matches. Gayle, in keeping with the rest of the West Indies team, had a poor World Cup in 2007. He recorded a series of low scores; the one exception being a blistering 79 off 58 balls against England in the West Indies' final match. Gayle made the first century in international Twenty20 cricket, scoring 117 against South Africa in the first match of the 2007 World Twenty20.[19] The innings made him the first batsman to score a century in each of international cricket's three formats.[20] This stood alone as the record score in a T20I until 19 February 2012, when South Africa's Richard Levi scored 117n.o. against New Zealand, and was eventually exceeded by Brendon McCullum of New Zealand later that year.[21] In the semi-final match of the 2009 World Twenty20 against Sri Lanka, he became the first international player to carry his bat through the entire innings in this format of the game as well. In April 2008, Gayle was bought by the franchise Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League player auction, but missed the opening games due to a Sri Lankan tour to the Caribbean. When he finally joined the team, he missed out on the action due to a groin injury he picked up during that tour. Afterwards, he left to join the West Indies team for a home series against Australia, therefore not playing in the inaugural version of the IPL. He played in the second IPL competition in early 2009, arriving for an away Test series against England very late, earning criticism about his commitment.[22] His Test series went poorly, and the West Indies went on to lose both the Test and ODI series. Gayle, however, went to on score a match winning 88 in the first official match of the 2009 Twenty20, in a surprise victory over Australia.[23] On 17 December 2009 in the Australia v West Indies 3rd Test Chris Gayle scored the then fifth-fastest century in Test match history, taking just 70 balls to reach 100, including nine fours and six sixes. He was dismissed two balls later for 102 runs. On 16 November 2010, he became the fourth cricketer to score two triple centuries in Test cricket after Donald Bradman, Brian Lara and Virender Sehwag.[24] On his return to Test cricket in July 2012, he scored 150 on the third day of the first Test against New Zealand.[25] Gayle scored 75 runs from 41 balls, fuelling West Indies' total of 205, against Australia in the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 semi-final, which was the highest total of the tournament.[26][27] In November 2012, during the First Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka, Gayle became the first player in the history of Test cricket to hit a six off the first ball of a match.[28] In 2013, during the Third Test against Zimbabwe, Gayle surpassed Brian Lara's record of the most sixes in Test cricket by a West Indian cricketer.[29] Late career In February 2015, Gayle became the fourth cricketer to score a double century in ODIs, and the first ever to do so in World Cup history, when he made 215 during a pool game against Zimbabwe in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup in Canberra.[30][31] His partnership with Marlon Samuels was the most productive wicket in Cricket World Cup history, producing 372 runs before Gayle was caught for an out on the final ball of the innings.[32] Coincidentally, he was almost adjudged out on the first ball he faced as an LBW appeal was raised by Zimbabwe bowler, Tinashe Panyangara, however, the umpire turned down the appeal. Despite a review which showed that the ball would have clipped the top of the bails, the original decision was upheld.[32] Gayle thus became the only player in world cricket to hit a triple hundred in Tests, a double hundred in ODIs and a hundred in Twenty20 Internationals. Gayle fielding against Australia during the 2019 Cricket World Cup Chris Gayle ended his List-A career for Jamaica with a match-winning century against Barbados in a Super50 Cup 2018. On 18 February 2019, Gayle announced that he would retire from ODIs after the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[33][34] He reversed this decision in June 2019.[35] In April 2019, he was named in the West Indies' squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup, which marked his fifth consecutive World Cup appearance (2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019).[36][37] On 31 May 2019, in the West Indies' opening match of the World Cup, Gayle scored his 40th six in World Cup matches, the most by any batsman in World Cup history, surpassing AB de Villiers's record of 37.[38] In the West Indies' match against Australia, Gayle scored his 1,000th run in the Cricket World Cup.[39] On 1 July 2019, in the match against Sri Lanka, Gayle became the most capped player for the West Indies in international cricket, playing in his 455th match.[40] Three days later, in the West Indies' final match of the 2019 Cricket World Cup, against Afghanistan, Gayle became the most-capped player for the West Indies in the Cricket World Cup, playing in his 35th match.[41] In the same match he also equalled Brian Lara's record of playing in 299 ODIs for the West Indies.[42] In the next game against India, he played his 300th ODI match, the only West Indian player to achieve that feat. He also broke the record for the most runs for the West Indies in ODIs, surpassing Brian Lara. In the next match, he scored a breath-taking 72 of just 41 balls, in a knock having 5 maximums, as he led his team to a respectable total of 240 in 35 overs. Chasing a revised target of 255 in 35 overs via DLS, India looked in a spot of bother, but Indian skipper Virat Kohli's unbeaten 114 cost them the match as India won the series 2–0. In November 2020, Gayle was nominated for the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Decade award.[43][44] In February 2021, Gayle was recalled to West Indies' T20I squad after two-year absence and named in the T20I squad against Sri Lanka.[45] On 13 July 2021, against Australia in the third T20I, Gayle scored his first T20I half-century in the format since 2016, scoring 67 off 38 deliveries.[46] In September 2021, Gayle was named in the West Indies' squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[47] Retirement On 6 November 2021, Gayle played his last T20I match against Australia in the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium However he has not announced his retirement from international cricket yet. He wanted to retire in front of his home crowd in Jamaica.[48] Twenty20 cricket Chris Gayle's record in Twenty20 matches[49] Period Matches Runs HS 100s 50s Avg.

Gayle with the Sydney Thunder in 2011 In 2011, after being left out of the initial part of the West Indies T20 and one-day home series against Pakistan, Gayle opted to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League.[57] In his debut game against his previous team Kolkata Knight Riders in their home ground, he scored 102 off 55 balls, hitting 10 fours and 7 sixes.[58] On 6 May 2011, he scored another century, 107 off 49 balls in Bangalore against the Kings XI Punjab, which included 10 fours and 9 sixes.[59] In the next match against Kochi Tuskers Kerala, he scored 37 runs in one over, which included 3 sixes, 3 fours and a no ball that was hit for a six.[60] Although many people cite him as having hit the over for 37, one run was awarded as an extra due to the no ball. He can therefore be said to have hit 36 off an over that went for 37. Gayle won the Orange Cap Award for scoring the most runs in the tournament amassing 608 runs in 12 matches.[61] He was instrumental in many victories for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and received five Man of the Match awards and also the Player of the Tournament award for his performances.[62] In the 2011 Champions League Twenty20, Chris Gayle was the second highest run-scorer in the competition, behind David Warner, with 257 runs from 6 matches at an average of 42.83 and a top score of 92, and was one of the star players.[63] Following his prolific performances, Gayle was signed by Zimbabwean franchise Matabeleland Tuskers, for the 2011-12 Stanbic Bank 20 Series.[64] As Gayle later recalled it was valuable practice ahead of the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, where he had signed for the Sydney Thunder.[65][66][67] Gayle hoped his first appearance in the tournament was a success, and he gave the spectators something to cheer about. Gayle was the second West Indian to be signed in the event, after the legendary Brian Lara had signed for Southern Rocks the previous season. Gayle enjoyed great success in that tournament. He was the leading run-scorer in that series with 293 runs, a top score of 109, and an average over 50, the best of the tournament.[68] The only century Gayle scored in the event ended in defeat as Mid West Rhinos's Brendan Taylor's outstanding 75* outlasted his team.[69] The Tuskers could not win the tournament as they were overpowered by Mashonaland Eagles's Ryan ten Doeschate's brilliant 121* off 58 and despite Gayle scoring a half-century, it was not enough to see his home through.[70] Gayle also joined the Barisal Burners in the Bangladesh Premier League, and had scored two centuries at more than a run-a-ball.[71] In the 2012 IPL season, Gayle hit the most sixes (59)[72] and was nominated for the orange cap for making 733 in 14 matches.[73] Gayle was selected for team Uva Next for the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League in 2012, but did not play for the team due to injury.[74][75] Gayle started off his 2013 IPL season scoring 92 not out from 58 balls, hitting 11 fours and four sixes against the Mumbai Indians. His innings helped his side to victory, and he was awarded the man of the match.[76] On 23 April 2013, during an IPL match against Pune Warriors India, Gayle broke multiple scoring records. With an individual score of 175 not out off 66 balls and a century reached in 30 balls, Gayle set records for the fastest century reached in any format of cricket, the highest individual score in a T20 match, and the most sixes scored in a single innings in the IPL.[77][78] He also took two wickets in the match. At the launch of the Caribbean Premier League, Gayle was announced as the first franchise player for the league.[79] During the 2015 T20 Blast season in England, Gayle represented Somerset and despite appearing in just 3 games for the county he contributed 328 runs including a score of 151 not out in a losing cause against Kent. The knock that came from 62 balls included 15 sixes and remains the highest T20 score at the County Ground Taunton.[80][81] On 18 January 2016, in a match with the Adelaide Strikers, Gayle set a new Big Bash League record for the fastest fifty and equaled the world record set by Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh against England in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20. He reached 51 in just 12 deliveries which included seven sixes and smashed the previous record of 18 deliveries set by Strikers batsman Tim Ludeman. He was dismissed shortly after for 56 off 17 balls by Travis Head.[82] Gayle was signed by Lahore Qalandars in 2016 for 200,000 dollars to play in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Gayle had his worst T20 league, citing back problems. He only scored 103 runs from five matches and was also out twice for a golden duck, the most in his T20 career, by Junaid Khan.[83] Gayle returned for a second season of PSL in 2017, this time picked by Karachi Kings. He played 9 matches for the side, and scored merely 160 runs.[84] This would be prove to be last outing for Gayle in PSL, as he wasn't picked by any side in the 2018 and 2019 drafts of the league.[85][86] In 2021, he was picked by Quetta Gladiators. On 18 April 2017, Gayle reached the 10,000 runs milestone in T20 cricket after scoring 77 runs off 38 balls in a match against Gujarat Lions where Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 21 runs. He was also awarded the man of the match which was his first in IPL 2017.[87][88] On 16 September 2017, Gayle became the first ever player to hit 100 T20I sixes. On 28 January 2018, Gayle was bought by Kings XI Punjab (Now Punjab Kings) in the 2018 IPL Auction for his base price of ₹20 million.[89] On 19 April, Gayle scored 104* off 63 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and his team won the match by 15 runs. It was his 6th IPL century.[90] Gayle was retained by the franchise for IPL 2021.[91] He however left the tournament in the second leg, citing 'bio-bubble fatigue'.[92] In May 2018, Gayle was named as one of the ten marquee players for the first edition of the Global T20 Canada cricket tournament.[93][94] On 3 June 2018, he was selected to play for the Vancouver Knights in the players' draft for the inaugural edition of the tournament.[95][96] In September 2018, he was named as the Icon Player for Balkh's squad in the first edition of the Afghanistan Premier League tournament.[97] The following month, he was named in Jozi Stars' squad for the first edition of the Mzansi Super League T20 tournament.[98][99] In June 2019, he was selected to play for the Vancouver Knights franchise team in the 2019 Global T20 Canada tournament.[100] In September 2019, he was named in the squad for the Jozi Stars team for the 2019 Mzansi Super League tournament.[101] In October 2020, he was drafted by the Kandy Tuskers for the inaugural edition of the Lanka Premier League.[102] In November 2021, he was selected to play for the Colombo Stars following the players' draft for the 2021 Lanka Premier League.[103] On 17 May 2022, Gayle was inducted into the RCB Hall of Fame (along with AB de Villiers) for his contributions to the team between 2011 and 2017. Twenty20 centuries Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Gayle scored a 30-ball century, that became the highest individual T20 score (175 not out).[77][104] It eclipsed the previous mark set by Brendon McCullum of Kolkata Knight Riders. Gayle holds the record for most centuries in T20 cricket (22), 15 more than his nearest rival Brendon McCullum. 15 out of his 22 T20 centuries have been not out. Technique and attitude The ball spat off the middle of his bat to all corners, turning into parabolas that the crowd was hollering for. Gayle faced more than half the balls bowled by the Warriors and produced a compressed 20-over highlights package.[105] Sharda Ugra, ESPNcricinfo on a Gayle IPL innings. Gayle is known for his characteristic hitting, imposing physique, and timing. He attributes the latter to being very thin when young, and having a heavy bat.[106] He is known for appearing very calm as the bowler approaches. "Tall and imposing at the crease, he loves to carve through the covers off either foot, and has the ability to decimate the figures of even the thriftiest of opening bowlers" recorded Wisden and ESPNcricinfo.[107] He holds numerous records that reflect his batting style, including record Twenty20 strike-rates and high scores. "It is instinct... We premeditate at times, but most of those things are instinct. When a fast bowler runs in to me, my breathing is controlled. So you keep a still head, slow down your breathing. Sometimes I actually hold my breath, so I can be as still and well-balanced as possible. If you get too excited, you overreact more, and with the adrenalin, you lose focus quickly."[106] Music Chris Gayle launched a music career in November 2020 with a dancehall music video called "We Come Out To Party".[108][109] Earlier in 2020, he had released a video about his partying lifestyle.[110] In April 2021, Gayle released a music video titled "Jamaica to India" in collaboration with the Indian rapper Emiway Bantai.[111] In September 2021, Gayle announced a song named 'Punjabi Daddy' and he will be seen in Sikh Turban look.[112] Personal life Gayle's partner is Allysa Berridge. On 20 April 2016, Gayle announced the birth of his daughter on social media platform Instagram.[113][114] On 9 September 2016, Gayle launched his autobiography Six Machine – I don't like cricket, I love it'.[115] According to Forbes, Gayle has an estimated net worth of $15 million.[116] Controversies Despite being regarded as a calm, cool cricketer,[107] in 2005, Gayle was involved in the dispute between the West Indies Cricket Board and a number of players over sponsorship issues. These players had personal sponsorship deals with Cable and Wireless, who used to sponsor West Indian cricket. However, since the West Indies had recently become sponsored by Cable and Wireless's rivals Digicel, the West Indies Cricket Board demanded the players dropped their Cable and Wireless deals. When the players refused to back down, the West Indies Cricket Board dropped them for the first Test against South Africa.[117] Gayle later cut his deal with Cable and Wireless and rejoined the side for the second Test. He was charged with conduct contrary to the spirit of cricket during a Test against New Zealand in March 2006 but was subsequently found not guilty.[118] Later that year, during October's Champions Trophy tournament in India, he was fined 30 percent of his match fee after repeated verbal exchanges with the Australian batsman Michael Clarke.[119] He also publicly criticised the West Indies Cricket Board during the 2007 tour of England, which led to an official reprimand and warning.[120] Gayle also received criticism in early 2009 during West Indies' tour of England, where he commented that he did not want to captain the West Indies any more given the pressures involved, and that he "wouldn't be so sad" if Test cricket was superseded by Twenty20 cricket in the future.[22] From the West Indies, both Viv Richards and Gary Sobers criticised Gayle's comments, as did opposite number Andrew Strauss.[121] Gayle later commented that his statement had been quoted out of context, according to Julian Hunte, President of the West Indies Cricket Board.[122] In an interview with Mike Atherton at the conclusion of a West Indies defeat in their tour of England, Gayle stated that he was not going to resign the captaincy.[123] In April 2011 Chris Gayle criticised the West Indies Cricket Board and coach Ottis Gibson and did not play for the team for more than a year. On 6 April 2012, Gayle and the WICB reached an understanding that paved the way for the former West Indies captain to return to the national team.[124] On 25 June 2012, Gayle was chosen to be a part of the 2nd T20 and five-match one-day squad series starting on 30 June 2012, in the West Indies and Florida. They won the T20 series 2–0, in which Gayle was awarded man of the series, and the ODI series 4–1, in which Gayle made an aggressive century and half-century. On 4 January 2016, while being interviewed by Network Ten commentator Mel McLaughlin during the 2015–16 Big Bash League season, Gayle said, "I just wanted to have an interview with you as well; that's why I batted so well," followed by, "Your eyes are beautiful; hopefully we can win this game and then we can have a drink after as well. Don't blush, baby". The comments were criticised by the Australian media,[125][126][127][128] with former Australian test captain Ian Chappell encouraging Cricket Australia to ban him from playing in Australia again.[129] Fellow female sports journalist Neroli Meadows stated that Gayle had been acting in such a way for years, and that he did it to "humiliate" women.[130] Gayle said the comments were intended to be a joke.[131][132] Melbourne Renegades sanctioned Gayle with a A$10,000 fine for inappropriate conduct.[133] On 30 October 2017, Chris Gayle won a defamation case against Fairfax Media after a jury found a series of articles published in 2016 which alleged he exposed himself to a masseuse were untrue and was awarded with $300k in damages for defamation.[134] The Chris Gayle Academy In 2015, Gayle set up 'The Chris Gayle Academy' with the intent on helping disadvantaged children in both Jamaica and the United Kingdom better themselves and their communities through their involvement in sport.[135] Since then the academy has expanded and now facilitates the advancement of young cricketers careers by providing access to quality coaches and playing opportunities abroad.

PTI chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Monday said that his party would approach the courts to establish the “authenticity” of the recently leaked audio tapes and have a joint investigation team (JIT) constituted to bring to light those responsible for the bugging of the Prime Minister Office (PMO). A series of audio recordings have surfaced of late, allegedly featuring the leadership of the PTI and PML-N holding informal conversations never meant to be heard by the public. Some of the clips featured purported conversations between the PTI chief and his former ministers and principal secretary about a cipher that he has for long presented as evidence of a “foreign conspiracy” to oust him from office. Last month, a slew of audio recordings of conversations between key government figures — including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz and some members of the federal cabinet — were released as well, triggering alarm bells with regard to national security. While the PML-N has denied the content of the audios, the PTI chief has accused the government of “starting a new game of audio leaks”. In a series of tweets today, Imran said: “The audio leaks are a serious breach of national security as they call into question the entire security of the PMO, PMH. As the prime minister, my secure line at my residence was also bugged. “We intend to go to court to establish the authenticity of leaks and then form JIT to investigate which intelligence agency is responsible for the bugging and who is leaking out the audios, many of which are edited/doctored,” Imran said. He asserted that the investigation was critical because sensitive security issues “are and have been illegally recorded and subsequently hacked implying that the confidentiality” of Pakistan’s national security had been globally exposed. ‘What are intelligence agencies doing?’ Talking about the audio leaks later at a ceremony in Rawalpindi, Imran questioned the role of intelligence agencies. “I ask my agencies, is your job to spy on your own people? Is it your job to decide who needs to come and who needs to go? Do you even care about the country that you have imposed these people over us? That all these daaku are taking Pakistan towards destruction […] is this your job to tap phones and see what Imran Khan is saying?” The PTI chief said that journalists and media houses were facing the worst form of crackdown under the incumbent setup, claiming that people were being threatened only so that they could accept the “imported government”. “So listen […] whoever these people are […] these chors and their handlers […] listen now, this nation will not accept you. I am telling you, no matter how hard you try, you will only dishonour yourself because the nation won’t accept them anymore,” he said. Name those who made cases against you: Imran tells Nawaz The PTI chief urged PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz to reveal the names of the “powers” that created cases against them. The PTI chief’s comments come a day after Nawaz, in a pre-recorded interview, spoke about the trials and tribulations he and his family went through since his wife, Kulsoom Nawaz, passed away. Referring to the interview in his speech today, Imran said: “Was it the judiciary or the establishment? Because when these cases were formed, we weren’t in power. Also, give one answer on how did you purchase these properties worth billions of rupees abroad? “Where did you get the money to buy them?” Imran asked. “Nawaz Sharif remained Pakistan’s prime minister thrice, why doesn’t he answer this?” link:https://www.dawn.com/news/1714309

Extreme heat is wreaking havoc across India. During the March-April 2022 heatwaves, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) recorded the hottest March on record, with temperatures soaring as high as 47 degrees Celsius (117 degrees Fahrenheit) and impacting 15 states and union territories. Finding themselves confronted with oppressive temperatures, individuals with the means hid out in their AC-powered homes while the less privileged across the nation were forced to swelter away in unlivable heat, leaving them exposed to an array of heat-related illnesses, from dehydration to heat stroke. Estimates suggest that the heatwaves caused farmers in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab, who collectively produce more than 25 percent of the nation’s wheat, could lose 10 to 35 percent of their wheat crop yields, a key staple food across India. Due to crop destruction, wheat prices rose by up to 15 percent in some regions, causing further food insecurity. The extreme temperatures caused chaos across all aspects of society – schools closed early or shortened their hours in nine northern states while surveys found that three in five Indian homes faced power outages during the heatwave. In more ways than one, the 2022 heatwaves proved calamitous for India. Unfortunately, the March-April 2022 heatwaves were only a preview of what is to come. In recent research, IMD has identified a worrying trend of increasingly frequent heatwaves, with the number of heatwave days increasing by almost 50 percent every 10 years between 1981 and 2020. Further, the combined effect of rising temperatures and growing urbanization driving half the Indian po[CENSORED]tion to cities by 2050 is predicted to intensify “urban heat island effects”—the phenomena of increased temperatures in urban centers due to the replacement of natural land cover with city infrastructure. Unfortunately, the March-April 2022 heatwaves were only a preview of what is to come. In recent research, IMD has identified a worrying trend of increasingly frequent heatwaves, with the number of heatwave days increasing by almost 50 percent every 10 years between 1981 and 2020. Due to its catastrophic impacts, extreme heat is gaining traction across Indian national and state-level policy agendas. Yet, despite innovations at the state level many still wonder if the effort is coordinated and comprehensive enough to face the existential threat ahead. Although the Center has provided an instructive framework for action, states have been left to manage and mitigate extreme heat largely independently, with few resources provided by the national seat of power. While some states have been slow to act, others such as Gujarat, Odisha, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh have led the way with innovative, forward-thinking policies to tackle extreme heat which provide valuable learnings for future policymaking within India and abroad. Setting the Foundation: the Center’s Guidance At a national level, extreme heat is undoubtedly a policy priority. India’s extreme heat response is coordinated by two central bodies with the IMD leading heat forecasting and heatwave alert communications, and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) setting national definitions for heatwaves. Using heat mapping—a technique which collates and analyzes temperature data to identify heat hotspots in a geography—the two agencies have identified 23 heatwave-prone states and 130 cities which they have recommended develop Heat Action plans, a document which combines assessments and actions across agencies to respond to and reduce heat-related risks. While the Center published heatwave management guidelines with recommended interventions to reduce extreme heat in 2019, state and city-level heat action planning has remained relatively independent. Given the heterogeneity in conditions across India—not just climatic, but also political, social, economic, and cultural—state-led action, in many ways, is the most practical route to ensuring that extreme heat interventions are tailored to local needs and resources. However, further financial resources and pressure need to be provided from the Center to jumpstart vulnerable states into action planning and implementation. Pioneering States Leading Action Against Extreme Heat Gujarat has long been a global leader in extreme heat management, publishing the first government-led Heat Action Plan in 2013. Since then, Ahmedabad has expanded its extreme heat management initiatives with a particular emphasis on the implementation of cool roofs—highly reflective roof surfaces which have been found to lower indoor building temperatures by two to five degrees Celsius as compared with traditional roofs made from corrugated tin, asbestos sheets, or concrete. The initiative was first piloted in 2017 where 3,000 tin roofs in slum communities in Ahmedabad painted with cool paint were found to have lower indoor temperatures. Building off the pilot’s success, the city launched a cool roof program in 2020 which seeks to paint more than 15,000 slum roofs and 1,000 government buildings with cool paint. In Odisha, the Disaster Management Authority has implemented a comprehensive, technology-first public awareness communications system for extreme heat management. To reach the masses and vulnerable groups who may not have smart phones, electronic screens with heat warnings and heat information have been set up at busy traffic intersections and marketplaces. Further, a website and smartphone app has been created to disseminate heat alerts and enable users to identify resources such as the nearest heat shelter and/or public water station. Despite only being established as a state in 2014, Telangana has been proactive with its extreme heat management campaigns. Alongside cool roof programs, another central area of focus has been tree reforestation as part of the Harithra Haram program which aims to increase the tree cover in the state from 24 to 33 percent. Amongst other benefits, tree reforestation has been found to reduce peak summer temperatures from one to five degrees Celsius through providing shade and evapotranspiration (the combined process through which water moves directly and indirectly from soil and the roots and bodies of vegetation and water bodies into the air). With an aim to combat urban heat islands, urban forestry has been a key pillar within Harithra Haram, with efforts focused on Hyderabad, the capital city of Telangana. As a result, Hyderabad has increased its forest cover by 147 percent over a 10-year period from 2011 to 2021, the maximum forest cover gain amongst all Indian mega-cities. In Andhra Pradesh, extreme heat management has been an impressively coordinated effort across state level agencies, local bodies, and NGOs. The program which best exemplifies the success of this effort has been the government’s public water and cooling shelter programs which aim to provide vulnerable communities respite from extreme heat exposure outdoors. According to reports by the Andhra Pradesh Disaster Management Authority, between 2019 and 2020, local government bodies supported by NGOs organized 62,228 Challivendram drinking water camps across 13 districts. Further, the report also estimated that 54,380 cooling shelters were provided across local bodies such as panchayats, government departments, workplaces, and NGOs. Looking ahead: addressing challenges in India’s extreme heat response While several states have made notable progress in implementing interventions to reduce the impacts of extreme heat, there are still several operational gaps in India’s approach. First, while national heatwave temperature thresholds have provided guidelines for states, a dearth of data collection at the ground-level has prevented the development of targeted heatwave protocols and interventions at the local level. Additionally, though the NDMA notes that 17 states have heatwave action plans, implementation of the plans has been inconsistent. For example, during the March-April 2022 heatwaves, news coverage in Bihar noted the lack of widespread implementation of the state’s heat action plans, restricting their focus to reactionary policies such as reduced and/or altered work and school hours to avoid peak heatwave periods. link:https://southasianvoices.org/policy-lessons-from-the-front-lines-tackling-extreme-heat-in-india/

ALBANY, N.Y. — A New York City man has been charged with smuggling three Burmese pythons in his pants at a U.S-Canadian border crossing. Calvin Bautista, 36, is accused of bringing the hidden snakes on a bus that crossed into northern New York on July 15, 2018. Importation of Burmese pythons is regulated by an international treaty and by federal regulations listing them as “injurious to human beings.” Bautista, of Queens, was arraigned Tuesday in Albany on the federal smuggling charge and released pending trial, according to a news release from the office of U.S. Attorney Carla B. Freedman. An email seeking comment was sent to Bautista’s lawyer.The charge carries the potential for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine as high as $250,000, according to federal prosecutors. The Burmese python, one of the world’s largest snakes, is considered a vulnerable species in its native Asia and is invasive in Florida, where it threatens native animals. link:https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-york-man-charged-smuggling-pythons-pants-border-rcna51143

Down in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the sort of house that car enthusiasts dream of just happens to be for sale—and while it isn't cheap, every additional detail just adds to the appeal. The obvious attraction to anyone with a speed/adrenaline penchant is the 1.2-mile, custom-built asphalt track that snakes through the 393-odd acre lot. It's a simple affair, roughly a quadrangle with one hairpin-shaped section by the main gate to the property, but with the kind of funds you need to buy this place you're probably already eyeballing the satellite map and figuring out where the earthmovers could squeeze in an Eau Rouge or Laguna Seca Corkscrew analogue. With space to grow and the budget to match your vision, it's basically a blank slate.And we haven't even gotten to the other bits of the property. Take the modest 7,764-square-foot house on the parcel, complete with five bedrooms and six-plus bathrooms. The house is (at least partially) powered by a large array of solar panels (900+), features 4,125 square feet of patio space for superlative outdoor entertaining, and there's even 1.6 miles of frontage to the White River.While we're sure it is nice—it's relatively new, built in 2016—it's the 30,000 square feet of shop space in various outbuildings—we count four in all, including one that's dedicated to paint and vehicle storage. The largest is 80 feet by 175 feet, an absolutely massive space with room to store and work on dozens of vehicles. This building is wired to handle welders in multiple locations, with compressed air outlets all over as well. The asking price on this rather remarkable collection of buildings, land—and of course that asphalt track—is a cool $6.7 million. Realtor.com helpfully estimates the mortgage should be around $38,388 a month, in case that puts the price in perspective any. For the right buyer, forget those ultimate garage fantasies—this is the complete package. link:https://www.motortrend.com/news/house-private-racetrack-for-sale-arkansas/

Delhi Under-17s won the 2004–05 Vijay Merchant Trophy in which Kohli finished as the highest run-scorer with 757 runs from 7 matches with two centuries.[25] In February 2006, he made his List A debut for Delhi against Services but did not get to bat.[26] Kohli made his first-class debut for Delhi against Tamil Nadu[27] in November 2006, at the age of 18, he scored 10 runs in his debut innings.[28] He came into the spotlight in December when he decided to play for his team against Karnataka on the day after his father's death and went on to score 90.[29] He went directly to the funeral after he got out in the match. He scored a total of 257 runs from 6 matches at an average of 36.71 in that season.[30] India Under-19 In July 2006, Kohli was selected in the India Under-19 squad on its tour of England. He averaged 105 in the three-match ODI series against England Under-19s[31] and 49 in the three-match Test series.[32] India Under-19 went on to win both the series. In September, the India Under-19 team toured Pakistan. Kohli averaged 58 in the Test series[33] and 41.66 in the ODI series against Pakistan Under-19s.[34] In April 2007, he made his Twenty20 debut[35] and finished as the highest run-getter for his team in the Inter-State T20 Championship with 179 runs at an average of 35.80.[36] In July–August 2007, the India Under-19 team toured Sri Lanka. In the triangular series against Sri Lanka Under-19s and Bangladesh Under-19s, Kohli was the second highest run-getter with 146 runs at an average of 29 from 5 matches.[37][38] In the two-match Test series that followed, he scored 244 runs at an average of 122 including a century and a fifty.[39] In February–March 2008, Kohli captained the victorious Indian team at the 2008 Under-19 Cricket World Cup held in Malaysia. Batting at number 3, he scored 235 runs in 6 matches at an average of 47 and finished as the tournament's third-highest run-getter and one of the three batsmen to score a hundred in the tournament.[40][41] He has helped India in a three-wicket semi-final win over New Zealand Under-19s by taking 2 wickets and scoring 43 runs in the run-chase and was awarded the man of the match.[42][43] In June 2008, Kohli and his Under-19 teammates Pradeep Sangwan and Tanmay Srivastava were awarded the Border-Gavaskar scholarship. The scholarship allowed the three players to train for six weeks at Cricket Australia's Centre of Excellence in Brisbane.[41] He was also picked in the India Emerging Players squad for the four-team Emerging Players Tournament and scored 206 runs in six matches at an average of 41.20.[44] International career Early years In August 2008, Kohli was included in the Indian ODI squad for tour of Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Prior to the Sri Lankan tour, Kohli had played only eight List A matches.[45] So, his selection was called a "surprise call-up".[46] During the Sri Lankan tour, as both first-choice openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag were injured, Kohli batted as a makeshift opener throughout the series.[47] He made his international debut, at the age of 19, in the first ODI of the tour and was dismissed for 12.[48] He made his first ODI half century, a score of 54, in the fourth match.[48] He had scores of 37, 25 and 31 in the other three matches.[48] India won the series 3–2 which was India's first ODI series win against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka.[49][50] After the postponement of Champions Trophy to 2009, Kohli was picked as a replacement for the injured Shikhar Dhawan in the India A squad for the unofficial Tests against Australia A in September 2008.[51] He batted only once in the two-match series, and scored 49 in that innings.[52] Later that month in September 2008, he played for Delhi in the Nissar Trophy against SNGPL (winners of Quaid-i-Azam Trophy from Pakistan) and top-scored for Delhi in both innings, with 52 and 197.[53][54] The match was drawn but SNGPL won the trophy on first-innings lead.[54] In October 2008, Kohli played for Indian Board President's XI in a four-day tour match against Australia.[55] Kohli, after recovering from a minor shoulder injury, returned to the national team replacing the injured Gautam Gambhir in the Indian squad for the tri-series in Sri Lanka.[56] He batted at number 4 for India in the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy because of an injury to Yuvraj Singh.[57] In the group match against the West Indies, Kohli scored an unbeaten 79 in India's successful chase of 130 and was awarded man of the match award.[58] Kohli played as a reserve batsman in the seven-match home ODI series against Australia, appearing in two matches.[59] He found a place in the home ODI series against Sri Lanka in December 2009 and scored 27[60] and 54 in the first two ODIs before making way for Yuvraj who regained fitness for the third ODI. However, Yuvraj's finger injury recurred leading to him being ruled out indefinitely.[61][62] Kohli returned to the team in the fourth ODI at Kolkata and scored his first ODI century–107 off 114 balls–sharing a 224-run partnership for the third wicket with Gambhir, who made his personal best score of 150.[48][63] India won by seven wickets to seal the series 3–1.[48] The man of the match was awarded to Gambhir who gave the award to Kohli.[63] Tendulkar was rested for the tri-nation ODI tournament in Bangladesh in January 2010,[64] which enabled Kohli to play in each of India's five matches.[65] Against Bangladesh, he scored 91 to help secure a win after India collapsed to 51/3 early in their run-chase of 297.[48][66] In the next match against Sri Lanka, Kohli ended unbeaten on 71 to help India win the match with a bonus point having chased down their target of 214 within 33 overs.[67] The next day, he scored his second ODI century, against Bangladesh, bringing up the mark with the winning runs.[68] He became only the third Indian batsman to score two ODI centuries before their 22nd birthday, after Tendulkar and Suresh Raina.[69] Kohli was much praised for his performances during the series[70][71] in particular by the Indian captain Dhoni.[72] Although Kohli made only two runs in the final against Sri Lanka in a four-wicket Indian defeat,[73] he finished as the leading run-getter of the series with 275 runs from five innings at an average of 91.66.[74] In the three-match ODI series at home against South Africa in February, Kohli batted in two games and had scores of 31 and 57.[48] Rise through the ranks Raina was named captain and Kohli vice-captain for the tri-series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe in May–June 2010, as many first-choice players skipped the tour.[75] Kohli made 168 runs at an average of 42.00 including two fifties,[76] but India suffered three defeats in four matches and crashed out of the series. During the series, Kohli became the fastest Indian batsman to reach 1,000 runs in ODI cricket.[77] He made his T20I debut against Zimbabwe at Harare and scored an unbeaten 26.[78] Later that month, Kohli batted at 3 in an Indian team throughout the 2010 Asia Cup and scored a total of 67 runs at an average of 16.75.[79] His struggles with form continued in the tri-series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand in Sri Lanka where he averaged 15.[80] Kohli batting in an ODI against New Zealand in December 2010 Despite the poor run of form, Kohli was retained in the ODI squad for a three-match series against Australia in October, and in the only completed match of the series at Visakhapatnam, scored his third ODI century–118 off 121 balls–which helped India reach the target of 290 after losing the openers early.[81][48] Winning the man of the match, he admitted that he was under pressure to keep his place in the team after failures in the two previous series.[82] During the home ODI series against New Zealand, Kohli scored a match-winning 104-ball 105, his fourth ODI hundred and second in succession, in the first game,[83] and followed it up with 64 and 63* in the next two matches.[48] India completed a 5–0 whitewash of New Zealand, while Kohli's performance in the series helped him become a regular in the ODI team[84] and made him a strong contender for a spot in India's World Cup squad.[85] He was India's leading run-scorer in ODIs in 2010, with 995 runs from 25 matches at an average of 47.38 including three centuries and seven fifties.[86] Kohli was India's leading run-getter in the five-match ODI series of the South African tour in January 2011, with 193 runs at an average of 48.25 including two fifties, both in Indian defeats.[87] During the series, he jumped to number two spot on the ICC Rankings for Men's ODI batters,[88] and was named in India's 15-man squad for the World Cup.[89] Kohli played in every match of India's successful World Cup campaign. He scored an unbeaten 100, his fifth ODI century, in the first match against Bangladesh and became the first Indian batsman to score a century on World Cup debut.[90] In the next four group matches he had low scores of 8, 34, 12 and 1 against England, Ireland, Netherlands and South Africa respectively. Having returned to form with 59 against the West Indies, he scored only 24 and 9 in the quarter-final against Australia and semi-final against Pakistan respectively.[48] In the final against Sri Lanka at Mumbai, he scored 35, sharing an 83-run partnership with Gambhir for the third wicket after India had lost both openers within the seventh over chasing 275.[91][92] This partnership is regarded as "one of the turning points in the match",[92] as India went on to win the match by six wickets and lift the World Cup for the first time since 1983.[93] Consistent performance in limited overs Kohli fielding during a match in December 2010 When India toured the West Indies in June–July 2011, they selected a largely inexperienced squad, resting Tendulkar and others such as- Gambhir and Sehwag missing out due to injuries. Kohli was one of three uncapped players in the Test squad.[94] He found success in the ODI series which India won 3–2, with a total of 199 runs at an average of 39.80.[95] His best efforts came in the second ODI at Port of Spain where he won the man of the match for his score of 81 which gave India a seven-wicket victory,[96] and the fifth ODI at Kingston where his innings of 94 came in a seven-wicket defeat.[48] Kohli made his Test debut at Kingston in the first match of the Test series that followed. He batted at 5 and was dismissed for 4 and 15 caught behind off the bowling of Fidel Edwards in both innings.[97] India went on to win the Test series 1–0 but Kohli amassed just 76 runs from five innings,[98] struggling against the short ball[99] and was particularly troubled by the fast bowling of Edwards, who dismissed him three times in the series.[100] Initially dropped from the Test squad for India's four-match series in England in July and August due to poor performance in his debut series, Kohli was recalled as a replacement for the injured Yuvraj,[101] though he did not got to play in any match in the series. He found moderate success in the subsequent ODI series in which he averaged 38.80.[102] His score of 55 in the first ODI at Chester-le-Street was followed by a string of low scores in the next three matches.[48] In the last game of the series, Kohli scored his sixth ODI hundred–107 runs off 93 balls–and shared a 170-run third-wicket partnership with Rahul Dravid,[103] who was playing his last ODI, to help India post their first 300-plus total of the tour.[104] Kohli was dismissed hit wicket in that innings which was the only century in the series by any player on either team and earned him praise for his "hard work" and "maturity".[105] However, England won the match by D/L method and the series 3–0.[citation needed] In October 2011, Kohli was the leading run-scorer of the five-match home ODI series against England which India won 5–0. He scored a total of 270 runs across five matches at an average of 90, including unbeaten knocks of 112 from 98 balls at Delhi, where he put on an unbroken 209-run partnership with Gambhir,[106] and 86 at Mumbai, both in successful run-chases.[48][107] Owing to his ODI success, Kohli was included in the Test squad to face the West Indies in November. He was selected in the final match of the series in which he scored a pair of fifties in the match.[108] India won the subsequent ODI series 4–1 in which Kohli managed to accumulate 243 runs at 60.75.[109] During the series, Kohli scored his eighth ODI century and his second at Visakhapatnam, where he made 117 off 123 balls in India's run-chase of 270,[110] a knock which raised his reputation as "an expert of the chase".[111] Kohli ended up as the leading run-getter in ODIs for the year 2011, with 1381 runs from 34 matches at 47.62 including four centuries and eight fifties.[112] During tour of Australia in December 2011, Kohli failed to go past 25 in the first two Tests, as his defensive technique was exposed.[113] While fielding on the boundary during the second day of the second match, he gestured to the crowd with his middle finger for which he was fined 50% of his match fee by the match referee.[114] He top-scored in each of India's innings in the third Test at Perth, with 44 and 75, even as India got their second consecutive innings defeat.[115][116] In the fourth and final match at Adelaide, Kohli scored his maiden Test century of 116 runs in the first innings.[117] India suffered a 0–4 whitewash and Kohli, India's top run-scorer in the series, was described as "the lone bright spot in an otherwise nightmare visit for the tourists".[118] Kohli fielding during a CB Series match against Australia in February 2012 In the first seven matches of the Commonwealth Bank triangular series that India played against hosts Australia and Sri Lanka, Kohli made two fifties–77 at Perth and 66 at Brisbane–both against Sri Lanka.[48] India registered two wins, a tie and four losses in these seven matches.[119] Being set a target of 321 by Sri Lanka, Kohli came to the crease with India's score at 86/2 and went on to score 133 not out from 86 balls to take India to a comfortable win with 13 overs to spare.[120] India earned a bonus point with the win and Kohli was named Man of the Match for his knock.[121] Former Australian cricketer and commentator Dean Jones rated Kohli's innings as "one of the greatest ODI knocks of all time".[122] However, Sri Lanka beat Australia three days later in their last group fixture and knocked India out of the series.[123] With 373 runs at 53.28, Kohli finished as India's highest run-scorer and lone centurion of the series.[124] Kohli was appointed the vice-captain for the 2012 Asia Cup in Bangladesh on the back of his fine performance in Australia. Kohli was in fine form during the tournament, finishing as the leading run-scorer with 357 runs at an average of 119.[125] He scored 108 in the first match against Sri Lanka in a 50-run Indian victory,[126] while India lost their next match to Bangladesh in which he made 66.[48] In the final group stage match against Pakistan, he scored a personal best 183 off 148 balls, his 11th ODI century. He helped India to chase down 330, their highest successful ODI run-chase at the time.[127][48] His knock was the highest individual score in Asia Cup history surpassing previous record of 144 by Younis Khan in 2004, the joint-second highest score, with Dhoni, in an ODI run-chase and the highest individual score against Pakistan in ODIs.[128] Kohli was awarded the man of the match in both the matches that India won,[126][127] but India could not progress to the final of the tournament.[129] In July–August 2012, Kohli struck two centuries in the five-match ODI tour of Sri Lanka–106 off 113 balls at Hambantota and 128* off 119 balls at Colombo–winning man of the match in both games.[130][131] India won the series 4–1 and Kohli was named player of the series.[132] In the one-off T20I that followed, he scored a 48-ball 68, his first T20I fifty, and won the player of the series award.[133] Kohli scored his second Test century at Bangalore during New Zealand's tour of India and won man of the match award.[97][134] India won the two-match series 2–0, and Kohli averaged 106 with one hundred and two fifties from three innings.[135][134] In the subsequent T20I series, he scored 70 runs off 41 balls, but India lost the match by one run and the series 1–0.[136] He continued to be in good form during the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka, with 185 runs, the highest among Indian batsmen, from 5 matches at an average of 46.25.[137] He hit two fifties during the tournament, against Afghanistan and Pakistan, winning man of the match for both innings.[138][139] He was named in the ICC 'Team of the Tournament'.[140] Kohli's Test form dipped during the first three matches of England's tour of India, between October 2012 and January 2013, with a top score of 20 and England leading the series 2–1.[97] He scored a patient 103 from 295 balls in the last match.[141][142] However, the match ended in a draw and England won their first Test series in India in 28 years.[143] Against Pakistan in December 2012, Kohli averaged 18 in the T20Is[144] and 4.33 in the ODIs,[145] being troubled by the fast bowlers, particularly Junaid Khan, who dismissed him on all three occasions in the ODI series.[146] Kohli had a quiet ODI series against England, apart from a match-winning 77* in the third ODI at Ranchi,[147] with a total of 155 runs at an average of 38.75.[148] Kohli scored his fourth Test century (107) at Chennai in the first match of the home Test series against Australia in February 2013.[97] India completed a 4–0 series sweep, becoming the first team to whitewash Australia in more than four decades.[149] Kohli averaged 56.80 in the series .[150] Kohli batting against South Africa in Cardiff during the Champions Trophy in June 2013 In June 2013, Kohli featured in the ICC Champions Trophy in England which India won. He scored a 144 against Sri Lanka in warm-up match.[151] He scored 31, 22 and 22* in India's group matches against South Africa, West Indies and Pakistan respectively,[48] while India qualified for the semi-finals with an undefeated record.[152] In the semi-final against Sri Lanka at Cardiff, he struck 58* in an eight-wicket win for India.[48] The final between India and England at Birmingham was reduced to 20 overs after a rain delay. India batted first and Kohli top-scored with 43 from 34 balls, sharing a sixth-wicket partnership of 47 runs off 33 balls with Ravindra Jadeja and helping India reach 129/7 in 20 overs. India went on to secure a five-run win and their second consecutive ICC ODI tournament victory.[153][154] He was also named as part of the 'Team of the Tournament' by the ICC.[155] Setting records Kohli stood-in as the captain for the first ODI of the triangular series in the West Indies after Dhoni injured himself during the match. India lost the match by one wicket, and Dhoni was subsequently ruled out of the series with Kohli being named the captain for the remaining matches.[156] In his second match as captain, Kohli scored his first century as captain, making 102 off 83 balls against the West Indies at Port of Spain in a bonus point win for India.[157][158] Many senior players, including Dhoni, were rested for the five-match ODI tour of Zimbabwe in July 2013, with Kohli being appointed captain for an entire series for the first time.[159] In the first game of the series at Harare, he struck 115 runs from 108 balls, helping India chase down the target of 229 and winning the man of the match award.[160] He batted on two more occasions in the series in which he had scores of 14 and 68*.[48] India completed a 5–0 sweep of the series; their first in an away ODI series.[161] Kohli had a successful time with the bat in the seven-match ODI series against Australia. After top-scoring with 61 in the opening loss at Pune,[162] he struck the fastest century by an Indian in ODIs in the second match at Jaipur. Reaching the milestone in just 52 balls and putting up an unbroken 186-run second-wicket partnership with Rohit Sharma that came in 17.2 overs,[163] Kohli's innings of 100* helped India chase down the target of 360 for the loss of one wicket with more than six overs to spare. This chase was the second-highest successful run-chase in ODI cricket at the time, while Kohli's knock became the fastest century against Australia and the third-fastest in a run-chase.[164] He followed that innings with 68 in the next match at Mohali in another Indian defeat,[165] before the next two matches were washed out by rain.[166] In the sixth ODI at Nagpur, he struck 115 off only 66 balls to help India successfully chase the target of 351 and level the series 2–2 and won the man of the match.[167] He reached the 100-run mark in 61 balls, making it the third-fastest ODI century by an Indian batsman, and also became the fastest batsman in the world to score 17 hundreds in ODI cricket.[168] India clinched the series after winning the last match in which he was run out for a duck.[169] At the conclusion of the series, Kohli moved to the top position in the ICC ODI batsmen rankings for the first time in his career.[8] Kohli batted twice in the two-match Test series against the West Indies, and had scores of 3 and 57 being dismissed by Shane Shillingford in both innings.[170][171] This was also the last Test series for Tendulkar and Kohli was expected to take Tendulkar's number 4 batting position after the series.[172] In the first game of the three-match ODI series that followed at Kochi, Kohli made 86 to seal a six-wicket win and won the man of the match.[173] During the match, he also equalled Viv Richards' record of becoming the fastest batsman to make 5,000 runs in ODI cricket, reaching the landmark in his 114th innings. He missed out on his third century at Visakhapatnam in the next match, after being dismissed for 99 playing a hook shot off Ravi Rampaul.[174][175] India lost the match by two wickets,[175] but took the series 2–1 after winning the last match at Kanpur.[176] With 204 runs at 68.00, Kohli finished the series as the leading run-getter and was awarded the man of the series.[177][176] Overseas season Virat Kohli batting against UAE during 2015 Cricket World Cup India toured South Africa in December 2013 for three ODIs and two Tests. Kohli averaged 15.50 in the ODIs, including a duck.[178] In the first Test at Johannesburg, playing his first Test in South Africa[179] and batting at 4 for the first time,[97] Kohli scored 119 and 96. His hundred was the first by a subcontinent batsman at the venue since 1998.[180] The match ended in a draw, and Kohli was awarded man of the match.[181] India failed to win a single match on the tour, losing the second Test by 10 wickets in which he made 46 and 11.[97] During New Zealand tour, he averaged 58.21 in the five-match ODI series[182] in which his all efforts went in vain as India were defeated 4–0. He made 214 runs at 71.33 in the two-match Test series that followed[183] including an unbeaten 105 on the last day of the second Test at Wellington that helped India save the match.[184] India then traveled to Bangladesh for the Asia Cup and World Twenty20. Dhoni was ruled out of the Asia Cup after suffering a side strain during the New Zealand tour, which led to Kohli being named the captain for the tournament.[185] Kohli scored 136 off 122 balls in India's opening match against Bangladesh, sharing a 213-run third-wicket stand with Ajinkya Rahane, which helped India successfully chase 280.[186] It was his 19th ODI century and his fifth in Bangladesh, making him the batsman with most ODI centuries in Bangladesh.[187] India were knocked out of the tournament after narrow losses against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, in which Kohli scored 48 and 5 respectively.[48] Dhoni returned from injury to captain the team for 2014 ICC World Twenty20 and Kohli was named vice-captain. In India's opening match of the tournament against Pakistan, Kohli top-scored with 36 not out to guide India to a seven-wicket win. He scored 54 off 41 balls in the next game against West Indies and an unbeaten 57 from 50 balls against Bangladesh, both in successful run-chases.[78] In the semi-final, he made an unbeaten 72 in 44 deliveries to help India achieve the target of 173.[188] He won the man of the match for this knock. India posted 130/4 in the final against Sri Lanka, in which Kohli scored 77 from 58 balls, and eventually lost the match by six wickets.[189] Kohli made a total of 319 runs in the tournament at an average of 106.33, a record for most runs by an individual batsman in a single World Twenty20 tournament,[190] for which he won the Man of the Tournament award.[189] India conceded a 3–1 defeat in the five-match Test series against England. Kohli fared poorly in the series averaging just 13.40 in 10 innings scoring 134 runs overall with a top score of 39.[191] It was a nightmare tour for him as he was dismissed for single-digit scores on six occasions in the series and was particularly susceptible to the swinging ball on off stump line, being dismissed several times edging the ball to the wicket-keeper or slip fielders.

MIANWALI: PTI chairman and deposed premier Imran Khan on Friday accused the ruling PML-N and its leader Maryam Nawaz of making ‘fake audios’, saying the rival party had started a new game. Addressing a rally in Mianwali, he maintained that creating deepfake videos was not a big deal nowadays. “Maryam Nawaz has made all these fake audios,” he claimed, saying that the PML-N was an expert in creating them. He also played a doctored audio clip of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif at the rally, apparently downplaying his latest audio leak on ‘horse-trading’. Hours earlier, an audio recording emerged on social media purportedly featuring Imran talking about ‘buying’ MNAs. The PTI chief further claimed that 'four individuals' were hatching a plot to assassinate him over blasphemy allegations, warning that a video containing names of the ‘conspirators’ would be released if anything happened to him. Imran added that PML-N leaders Marriyum Aurangzeb and Javed Latif had accused him of committing blasphemy in a bid to incite religious hatred against him. “What was the game behind this [allegation]… four individuals sitting behind closed doors decided to have me killed over blasphemy allegations,” he alleged. “If I get killed, they will say a religious fanatic killed him [Imran] because he had committed blasphemy,” he added. Imran said he had recorded a video, containing the names of the conspirators, that would be released if anything happened to him. “The nation will not forgive them,” he warned. Reiterating his plan to give the ‘ultimate call’ against the PML-N-led coalition government, Imran asked his supporters to prepare for the long march to the federal capital. The PTI chief said he could give the call for the long march to Islamabad anytime soon. However, he added that the long march was a part of his ‘real freedom movement’ and he was planning some other events which “no one has ever seen before”. Imran said that he had decided to sacrifice his life for the 'freedom’ of the country. “They are trying to scare us by threatening to throw us in jail. Now, I will start a 'fill prisons movement'. There are millions ready to go to jail, so don’t try to scare us,” he added. Addressing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, the PTI chief said they and their ‘handlers’ could prepare to stop his march, but he would thwart all their plans. “You can’t stop us now, you will have to hold elections.” The PTI chairman also called the audio leaks from the Prime Minister’s Office a “grave security concern”. He added that it was a “matter of worry” that the phone lines of the premier were being tapped. “I ask our intelligence agencies ... your job is to protect the PM Office and if all these things are leaked, this your responsibility. You should understand this instead of threatening people and engaging in political engineering,” the PTI chief said. link:https://tribune.com.pk/story/2380664/pml-n-behind-fake-audios-claims-imran
